Jung is worth a read
Any works written by Sigmund
Freud, Soren Kierkegaard, and Otto Rank are worth a read as well, but really it
is up to you what you want to read when it comes to this broad subject, these
are just my suggestions.

For
this section I would be very selective of which books to read, because many may
not contain the information you seek. But as always, just go with your heart
when deciding.
Books on and/or based off a Religious Concept:
- By: Emmanuel
Swedenborg
- Heaven and Hell
- True Christianity part I & II
Any
work from Emmanuel Swedenborg is worth a read
- Basics of Eastern Religions
- The Bible
- The Dead Sea Scrolls
(more could be added to this
section. I put these here because knowing the different religions around the
world; you can see the connections in them. You may begin to see that they are
not so different after all.)
Books Related to death
- Egyptian Book of the Dead (could be found online)
- Life after Life By: Dr. Raymond Moody
- By: Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross book
- On Death and Dying
- On Life After Death
Or
any works written by her, she did a lot of work with grief and the dying
process.

Suggestions:
This list is just some ideas
of what type of readings to look out for. Anything related to these subjects is
good to read, but use your intuition. As much as there is good, there is also
those books that are not so good to read. Just listen to your heart when
searching for something to read to help on your spiritual path.
Many poetic works are good to
read as well, poetry is good for the soul. Any form of art including music –
all forms of it. Same goes for mythology, any mythology book is worth a read in
my opinion as well.
Hope
this list helped you some.
